Review of Century 21 Bradley Realty

I moved into my home as a first time home buyer on...

I moved into my home as a first time home buyer on February 28th. Within 2 weeks of me being in the house I had to call A1 Sewer service out twice. The second time the owner and the entire crew informed me that the back room addition of the house had been completely built over a sewer line. Sewer line replacement is around $2000. I contacted Gemma Mcclendon, the realtor who sold me the home, and she did not respond. A month later I noticed my driveway flooding with water. I thought that perhaps I simply needed a gutter extension or gutter cleaning. I called 3 different contractors who came to my home and confirmed that the cast iron pipes under the slab of my home were rotting and would need to be replaced. I learned that home owners insurance does not cover this because it was a pre-existing condition. The cost to replace the rotting cast iron pipes is between $10,000-$20,000. It gets worse...a few days ago I discovered termites behind electrical outlet above kitchen counter. Gemma Mcclendon was my realtor and I definitely would not recommend her. She decided to "speak for me" and asked for a small amount of cash from seller in lieu of them making repairs. She knew expressly that I wanted the repairs made before I moved into the home, but disregarded my desires. The check I received at closing was not enough to cover repairs, and her broker informed her that it would not be enough. The major things that need repair in this house were not even listed on inspection report. Gemma Mcclendon was referred to me by someone and I regret listening to this individual now. Major mistake! I can't sell this house and am in a situation where I will probably have to go into foreclosure and lose everything. She hasn't called to ask how she could assist me thru this situation, but she has had my facebook page disabled so that my review can't be seen by others. She also had someone call me to ask why she's being bashed. Imagine that...she's not concerned about me losing everything financially, but concerned about how she's viewed on facebook. I had 100% financing through ProFed and needed a 0 down payment and am on the verge of foreclosure. After my son graduated college, I wanted to become a homeowner and am so disappointed in the outcome. I lost $450 on the first home that I was going to close on because she failed to do something as simple as comparing the comps. As a first time home buyer I feel that no one had my best interest at heart.
